What is Screening & Recoating?
Screening and recoating helps restore the appearance and performance of a hardwood gym floor. The process removes surface imperfections and improves traction on the court.
Screening and recoating begins with a light sanding of the floor. This removes the old finish as well as scuffs and residue buildup. A slightly rough surface is created, free of physical and visual imperfections. The abraded surface allows the new finish to adhere properly.
Next, a new layer of finish is applied to the wood. This protective recoating restores the floor’s shine, while improving smoothness and durability.
Screening and recoating is not as intensive as a full floor refinish. It is considered routine maintenance. A typical school gymnasium should be screened and recoated every year. Great American Flooring provides this service for schools, churches, and sports teams in Wichita and throughout Kansas.
Screening & Recoating Benefits
The frequency for gym floor maintenance varies depending on the court’s usage. A typical high school gym will need to be serviced every year. Gyms with light use may only need maintenance every 2 years. Screening and recoating provides several benefits you should consider:
- Improves Traction & Safety
- Improves Athletic Performance
- Reduces Injury Risk
- Increases Court’s Longevity
- Restores Shine
- Reduces Potential Downtime
